I agree. I'm not doubting the performance of that car, but those lines were going by REALLY fast for the slowest speed that the cop car was going. 121 km/h=75 MPH. I drive every day around 80 MPH and those line don't go by THAT fast. I think the video has been increased in speed by a few frames per second, but nothing major.

That Lotus is just RIDICULOUSLY fast though...
